    Not really... it's pretty dull most of the time, which is why I like it here.

    It got a bit smelly about a year ago when they appeared to be doing the farming at home, but I was in London most of the time, so I wasn't bothered by it.

    I was glad to see that they appeared to be doing it away from the premises this year. However it looks like they still got tracked to earth by somebody with a grievance - maybe they weren't giving a cut to the right people?

    They're actually very good neighbours... not noisy (apart from the odd twenty minutes of hip-hop of an afternoon, and that only occasionally), very polite and friendly without being intrusive. I don't care that much if they're behind with their electricity bills (separate meters after all) and they've always struck me as the sort that would not only not burgle my flat, but would also intervene if somebody else tried to.

    It's quite a nice place to live, actually - but apparently not for them right now
    Yeah - it can be an eventful business to be in , as I understand it... As long as it all calms down by the time you have to go to bed, that'll be fine.

      I'm not sure if the Plod are still hanging around downstairs, or if they've gone now. Either way, I'm crashing out as soon as I've got to the end of season 4 of Babylon 5, which is in a few minutes

      I'll probably then get Detective Constable Claire Wotsername phoning me at nine in the morning to ask me how to use Google...

              After posting the above I put my shoes on, donned my jacket, popped the camera into my pocket and headed off downstairs...

              ... to find a copper standing in the hall

              It looks like the chaps in flats 1 and 4 (and for all I know flat 2), who all know each other, have had a visit from someone with a grievance

              When I came in, they were hanging around outside flat 1 - when I unlocked the front door, one of them came out of flat 1 and followed me up the stairs (not in a dodgy way, just as if he was going there) and I commented to him on the odd white stuff littering the stair carpet (I'm still not sure what that is)... but now I see that the doors to both those flats have been smashed open, and from a quick glance into 4, the place looks as if it's been trashed

              The copper took notes from me about when I'd gone out, got in, what they were like (actually ideal neighbours in my view) and so forth. Noteworthy was the fact that he asked if they were into drugs... he probably noticed that I hesitated, but all I could have said is that I occasionally noticed the smell of a joint coming from their flats if the door was open as I passed.

              Actually, I just went down and said that

              And that a few months ago they had been bringing in equipment for a cannabis farm, which they assembled in the shed out the back and then shipped elsewhere in a van.

              Oh dear, have I said too much...
